Abstract

    The paper highlights problems faced by transgender people in Vietnam at present. There are a lot of risks involved with their health and psychology as well as challenges involved with their employment and legal procedures. They have been encountering difficulties in living with their desired gender. The transgender people are, therefore, in need of assistance from their family, community and especially from a very new and significant field - social work.
